My understanding is no, they have a leaf called kari (pronounced similar to curry). If you say curry to an Indian born person, they typically think of the leaf, not a spice mix. Common spice mixes are garam masala, chaat masala, tikka, tandoori seasoning, etc

I don't like purposeless exercise. So all my exercise has a purpose. I garden, do yard work, bike to work, paddle for pleasure. Life doest have to be suffering, just need to find what motivates you.

And you become part of what makes it sick if you don't have they tools to develop a deeper self awareness. I was profoundly skeptical of therapy for a long time, and also thought myself very self aware. But with a good therapist you can uncover enormous blind spots and generally improve how you treat yourself an others. Society is built by those within it.

I mean for some it can help them accept and process reality a little better.

No place I have ever worked has had a version of excel with xlookup, so I can't really comment on it. Im not on 365 or a newer desktop version. We are on Office 2019, as I suspect many offices still are.

Ahh thanks, didnt notice. Not a word I use enough to notice the difference, pallette/palate. I also have a phoneme disorder that makes recognizing the difference difficult.

It really depends on circumstance. Do you have a broad pallette, do you cook, do you have access to land or community garden to grow pricer food per calorie (lettuce, fruit), will you lower your meat intake, can you reduce meals on the go or nights out?

There are a lot of ways to reduce your food budget, the biggest is refraining from eating out. Probably followed by more meals without meat, which is healthier anyway. Americans eat way too much meat. If you are a creative cook you can make the food you have on hand go further, instead of letting random ingredients go to waste.

Pivot tables are quick. If used properly you can summarize data much quicker than any excel formula. When I use them it pretty much always takes under 30 seconds to get what I want. Imo, there are 2 things every user of excel should learn to use. Vlookup (edit: or xlookup, see below) and pivot tables. Once you learn to use both, you will use them all the time.

If you're insisting that you're going to switch to a car if you can't have a throttle on your ebike, that's your decision to make.

Not just a throttle but at least 20 mph allowable. Realistically the more time it takes out of my day the less likely I am to do it. I used myself as an illustration, the point wasn't about me, its to point out that regulations that cause people to walk away from biking make us all less safe. You're supporting regulation on ideological grounds while ignoring the likelihood of negative real world outcomes. If your goal is to make society safer, this accomplishes the opposite.

What an obnoxious comparison, I bike exactly because I would rather not kill or be killed with a car.

I'm 9 miles from work. My goal is to have an easy ride were I show up without sweating. I put assist on medium and keep the ride easy. Using the throttle to break inertia at every stop is absolutely a part of that, as is being able to go at a fast enough pace were I'm not peddling for the better part of an hour. We are not Europe, we are far more spread out in the usa. The consequence of regulation will be people like me returning to a far more dangerous form of transportation. To me that's not progress: trying to lessen danger by increasing danger astronomically.

Outside of Surrons and other e-dirtbikes, the hysteria over ebikes is mostly car propaganda. Do anything to paint all forms of alternative transportation as dangerous, and get people back into cars (the most dangerous of all). As long as cars are the most viable form of transportation, any additional regulation on class I, II, or III ebikes will only result in decreased usage, and increased driving (which is far far more dangerous). Furthermore, you are also glossing over the fact that people already own these ebikes, and replacing them is not cheap. To me this is not seeing the forrest for the trees.

In an ideal world were we had sensible zoning and transportation infrastructure I might agree with you. But in the sad reality we have, regulations on basic ebikes will make things far far worse.

Where I am its perfectly legal as long as you yield to all pedestrians.
